A woman
known as The Nurse (Jodie Foster) runs a high-security, members-only hospital
for high-rolling criminals in Los Angeles. When a bank robber (Sterling K.
Brown) brings his injured teammates along with $18 million in jewels there,
both mob boss Wolf King (Jeff Goldblum) and the police follow. With the
hospital under siege, The Nurse, her orderly (Dave Bautista) and her other
criminal patients have to defend themselves. (Courtesy of Internet Movie

It has been a long time since seeing a film that the trailer
really got me excited. I’m not necessarily saying HOTEL ARTEMIS was that film,
but the premise and seeing the actors attached did. Upon finally getting to see
it my feelings were mixed thinking the story was going in another direction.
Was I entertained, yes. Did I like how it was set in a futuristic rioting
world, yes. Yet at the same time if felt familiar like I had seen something
like this before, enter John Wick 2. So for HOTEL ARTEMIS I give it a 3.5 of 5
stars.

In this
adventure/drama, FBI agent Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) enlists a mysterious
operative to help investigate a Mexican drug cartel that has been smuggling
terrorists into the U.S. Things escalate when the daughter of a top kingpin is
abducted, forcing Graver and his partner to re-evaluate their mission. Written by ahmetkozan(Courtesy of Internet Movie

Having been thrilled by the first SCARIO it was only natural
that seeing previews to SCARIO: DAY OF THE SOLDADO that I’d have to see it.
Upon watching it and being a little more familiar with this world of the scario
some of the thrill was missing. From the weaving of stories and backroom deals
depicted in the film the elements are still there for a tense thriller. I also
feel the film production and sound design were on point something that I
usually don’t pick up on so much in other films. So for SCARIO: DAY OF THE
SOLDADO I give 3.75 of 5 stars.
